Craft Is… 2024 Recap
Saskatchewan Craft Council’s inaugural Craft Is… Fine Craft Market was held at Prairieland Park in Saskatoon from September 19 to 22, 2024. This market replaced our long-running WinterGreen Fine Craft Market, which was annually held in Regina each November. In 2024, the SCC joined forces with SaskGalleries to present Art Now Fine Art Fair and Craft Is… together! Both organizations share similar audiences, so we agreed to create a large and dynamic art event that celebrated fine craft and visual art, alternating between Regina and Saskatoon.
2,500 visitors attended the event over its 3.5 days, launched by a high-end reception. The SCC not only had an Art Now gallery booth featuring fine craft, we also gave our professional members the opportunity to showcase their work in our three-day market Craft Is… Show + Sale. The average daily sales of our marketers was $518 per day. The results were strong, especially since this was the first year of this event.
Join us in 2025 for Art Now Fine Art Fair and Craft Is Fine Craft Market in Regina at the Viterra International Trade Centre in the REAL District from October 2 to 5, 2025!
